Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Princeton!

As I look back on 2024, I’m thankful for the power of God at work among Princeton students. Some highlights have included a great Freshman Welcoming Campaign, a powerful fall retreat, and some record turnouts at our Friday night Leadership Lecture Series. I’m personally blessed to have an amazing student leadership team that has stepped up in critical ways to take this ministry forward from difficult times after the pandemic. The culture and passion among our students have improved dramatically this past year, and our student leaders have had a large part to play in this regard.

Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” - Acts 1:8

Greetings from CU Libertas!

Happy New Year to you and your family!

As I reflect on Jesus’s last words before His ascension, I’m reminded of the power He has bestowed on believers everywhere to be effective witnesses of the gospel. Here at CU Libertas, we are gearing up for the spring semester and humbly relying on this same power, through the working of the Holy Spirit, to engage the campus at Brown in hearing the life-saving message of the gospel.

Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Ithaca!

It’s been a quiet few weeks on the campus of Cornell University, but all of that is about to change as students start heading back to Ithaca from their holiday breaks. With over 16,000 undergraduates returning, the surge is always exciting to see, but it can also present some challenges. Please pray for all of these students as they travel.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

"I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building." - 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 (NIV)

After our (very) extended break here at Dartmouth, we are back on campus. The students have already had a few weeks of winter term, powering through a whole new slate of classes. Our first Vine was a rousing success, with more than 30 students turning out. Praise God for what He is doing!

University Leadership Ministry Helps Students Develop a Robust Christian Worldview

written by christian union; edited By erin conner



As the Judeo-Christian worldview has receded in modern Western society, nihilism, atheism, secularism, post-modernism, and a resurgent paganism now present competing paradigms for explaining the meaning of life and our purpose here on earth. Bifurcation of facts from values has contributed to the identity dysphoria endemic to the dislocation of self in society that troubles many young people today. Issues related to sexual "empowerment" and individual gratification dominate public policy debate, even as our nation’s values related to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness find new definition in the reshaping of longstanding positions on private and public morality.

Dear CU Gloria Law Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Harvard Law School!

As we begin 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on all that God accomplished in 2024. In my six-plus years with Christian Union Gloria Law, I can confidently say that this past year has been the most fruitful and exciting season of ministry yet.

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Happy New Year to you! I hope your Christmas season was filled with joy and rest and you’re starting 2025 feeling refreshed! Jim, our men's ministry fellow, and I just returned from the Christian Union Faculty Momentum, a five-day conference devoted to seeking God together in prayer, scripture, worship, and fellowship. We both met with the Lord and are feeling so encouraged for the future of Christian Union and, of course, for what God is doing on Harvard’s campus.

Devotional from January 2025 Christian Union National Fast 

By michael racine, Writer and Ministry Fellow, Christian Union Lux at Yale


We are living in a time of great changes, ripe with opportunity and fraught with danger. As trust in once-venerated institutions and authorities erodes, people are searching—for meaning, for purpose, and for anchors amid the swirling storm of competing truth claims. Many are turning, or returning, to the church, and for that we thank God. Meanwhile, many others are turning (or returning) to what a generation ago would have been near-universally laughed off as superstition—to psychics, tarot, and witchcraft—or cobbling together a faith of their own invention, mixing perhaps a bit of Buddhism, some yogic meditation, a dollop of post-modern relativism, and various Christian ideas divorced from the broader biblical vision.

For many years a populist mindset has dominated Christian thinking about how to influence a society, meaning that Christians have believed that when a majority of people value virtue, culture will follow. But according to James Davision Hunter, the LaBrosse-Levinson Distinguished Professor of Religion, Culture and Social Theory·at the University of Virginia, "culture changes from the top down; rarely, if ever, from the bottom up."

True Faith Produces the Fruit of Love

Revised By erin conner, writer & communications associate

It may seem contradictory to say that in order to love the people in our sphere of influence the best-our neighbor, our spouse, or our children-we must love God the most. However, this is God's command and, therefore, the way to fulfill Jesus’ two greatest commandments.
